Support Worker

at  People Plus Independent Living Services

Support Worker Required- No experience needed

Across the week I need support with the following from my support team:

• admin and paperwork related tasks including proofreading
• household cleaning tasks and support organising my space
• cooking balanced meals that meet my dietary needs
• attending and following up actions from medical appointments
• grocery shopping and support to replace stock of other household essentials
• prompting with time specific medication (this includes PAs being paid extra for short reminder phone calls planned and agreed in advance)
• working within existing systems I have within my home and support to develop new ones where needed
• supporting me in ways that allow me to focus on pregnancy and parenthood

Please note that as I’m immunocompromised I ask that all PAs take Covid and Flu vaccines that they are entitled to as soon as possible, after they become available. Also for this reason and due to current life circumstances I would prefer a non smoker.
Petrol expenses for journeys made at work will be recompensed.
A shift patterns of Thursday and Friday morning would be ideal, however I have some flexibility to agree an alternative shift pattern if these shifts don’t suit.
